Water soluble patina VERDIGRIS 240ml

What verdigris is

Verdigris is the name for the green film that covers copper and its alloys after longer exposure to damp and air. The roofs of churches, old bells, equestrian statues and brass fittings on ships all know it. It is not dirt but a product of the metal itself, and that is why it stays in the recesses, around rivets, in the panel lines and under the eaves, where water leaves its trace. This product gives the modeler a shade with which such a film is suggested, without having to mix it from several paints.

Application procedure

The basis is a finished, dry and degreased surface. Shake the bottle before work, because the pigment sinks to the bottom. The product is thinned with water and brushed on, best deliberately into the places where water would run down rather than evenly over the whole area. Build the effect gradually: let the first deposit dry and only then judge whether to add another. As long as the deposit is wet, the surplus can be taken off with a damp brush or a cloth. Then fix the finished surface with varnish.

• A water-thinnable patina in a verdigris shade

• Brushed on, thinned and washed with water
• It aims at copper, bronze and brass on models, busts and dioramas
• The deposit is built in dried layers

Where the effect tells

Best where a structure is to look old: copper roofs and towers, monuments and fountains, ship fittings and a ship's bell, piping and valves in an abandoned hall. In fantasy and science fiction structures it moves metal fittings toward a world that nobody has maintained for a long time.

Who it is for

For modelers of dioramas and painters of figures who want to give metal surfaces age. The model, paints, brushes and varnish are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
